Marissa Rivero, a fitness influencer celebrated for her Instagram content, is known for her dedication to health and wellness. With a focus on strength and personal growth, Rivero inspires her followers by sharing her fitness journey, favorite exercises, and reflections on self-acceptance. In a recent post, she emphasized the importance of leg day, sharing her go-to lower body routine: "Eat, sleep, train legs & repeat 🏃‍♀️✔️ Leg curl 3×10-12. Squats 4×10-12. RDL 4×10-12. Walking Lunges 4×40 (20 reps each leg). Kickbacks 4×10-12." Here's a deeper look at how Rivero maintains her fitness and empowers others.

1

She Uses Weights

In her Instagram video, Rivero is seen using a dumbbell to do some of the exercises. The Mayo Clinic states that working out with weights can have a lot of benefits. "Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities."

She Does Lunges

Rivero is seen doing walking lunges in her Instagram video. Lunges have a lot of health benefits. ACE Fitness says, "Lunges work the biggest muscles in your lower body — mainly the quadriceps, gluteus maximus, and the adductor magnus (the muscle in your inner thigh). Other muscles that come into play are the hamstrings, gluteus medius, calves, and core stabilizers."

She Does Squats

Rivero is also seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats have a lot of benefits. "Poor posture can cause all kinds of problems, including back pain, neck pain, headaches and an overall lack of flexibility. But working your erector spinae muscles, like through squatting, can help strengthen them and improve your posture."

She Does Leg Curls

Rivero is seen using the leg curl machine in her Instagram video. Asphalt Green states that doing this has a lot of benefits. "Hamstring curls are a great way to balance the muscles that you work when you're doing leg extensions. This exercise is also good for people with sedentary jobs who don't get a lot of walking in. Even pro cyclists can benefit from using this machine, since biking works the quads so heavily and doesn't do as much for the hamstrings."

She Focuses On Herself

Rivero is making sure to focus on herself, especially when it comes to her weight. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. "I'm guilty of comparison but who isn't ?? I was so down on myself for not maintaining a fit physique while I was pregnant I felt like it was expected of me. I gained 50lbs I had a 8lb baby on a 5'1 frame lol my stomach will never be the same and that's OK! I grew a freaking Human 🤯 our bodies are insane !"
